I know that most of these are not the AAA titles that people are waiting for but it is still good to finally see a steady flow of Xbox 1st party releases. 2023 looks to be the year of the AAA titles with Forza Motorsport, Redfall and Starfield all coming in the 1st half of the year. My guess would be for the 2nd half of 2023 we will be getting Avowed and Hellblade II. If those are the releases that we will be getting for 2023 that would be a really good lineup for the year. I know the Xbox conference was not as good as people expected but after having a few days to process it I am now glad that they went with only showing what is coming in the next 12 months. This new format was needed and getting 1st party releases through out the entire year is something I have been waiting years to see. Looks like we are finally getting there.



EDIT: It is actually 8 games. Thank you Craig of War

Starfield will likely get another delay...

 

[Jigsaah]

I'm still hyped for Starfield on PC. Even if the framerate looked like molasses in the gameplay reveal, there's no shot they are going to limit to 60fps on PC. I'm ready!

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Redfall and Starfield for me. No interest in the rest.

 

[fatmarco]

Yeah Starfield I can't see coming out that soon. Looks ambitious but rough at the moment.

I honestly would prefer they delay it until its at least made sure its Save game system is secure and safe, so that files that don't get corrupted at or around launch like previous Bethesda games etc.

Also I think Microsoft might be pulling the whole, "Call of Duty MW2" is our big end of year release with some Gamepass announcement assuming the deal goes through.

 

[legacy24]

Starfield and Forza are literally the only ones I would play

 

[Gavon West]

Starfield will likely get another delay...

Nah. It was supposed to fly this November and we're still months out from that. It'll release next year for sure.

 

[Mister Wolf]

i will give Grounded a try if I hear it has a good story mode. Redfall will give me my Borderlands fix. Starfield will be 2023 GOTY.

 

[teezzy]

 

[jigglet]

Still keen to try Grounded when I upgrade my PC. Does it have split screen co-op? This could be the sort of game that convinces me to buy an xbox if it had couch co-op.

 

[BennyBlanco]

looking forward to pentiment. josh sawyer is a beast.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Starfield and Pentiment are my most interested in games of that list, but I'll give Redfall, Minecraft, and Grounded 1.0 a whirl though.

Also have 40K Darktide, Cult of the Lamb, and Scorn that I'm in for day 1.

 

[tommib]

As Dusk Falls and Pentiment looking good. I need calmer narrative heavy games after the stress gameplay orgy of the Elden Ring/GT7 combo.

I won't even download this on Game Pass. It's not a game. It's a deviantart slideshow.

 

[Warnen]

1 in 7…

I don’t like them odds

 

[Pelta88]

I thought grounded had been out for a number of years now.

 

[ManaByte]

Game Preview. The story wasn't done. But it's literally the only survival game I've ever enjoyed so I'm looking forward to it.

 

[Jennings]

Three 2022 game and none of them up my alley. I'll have to read up more on the three 2022 games and see if I'm missing anything crucial that would pique my interest.

 

[NikuNashi]

So Forza and Starfield.

The others look like straight to game pass fillers.

 

[Lognor]

I'm interested in half of those. Awesome diversity though. Something for everyone.

 

[Vasto]

I won't even download this on Game Pass. It's not a game. It's a deviantart slideshow.

Looks like a Visual Novel or something. It acutally has multiplayer which I have no idea how that would even work.

 

[Decontamination Silo]

That's a yikes for me dawg. Starfield and Forza is really all that matters on that list.

Microsoft has two trump cards they can play at will. (consider this a verified leak)

1. Brute Force reboot developed by Crytek

2. Cliff Racer Pro Unlimited. TES Cart Racing, in the spirit of Diddy Kong racing. (system seller)

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

 

[Warnen]

Thank god for 3rd party game pass games

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Pentiment my most anticipated game for the rest of the year. The aging mechanic really won me over.

 

[Sosokrates]

Deathloop should be coming to Xbox on the 14th or 15th September this year.

Im guessing they did not mention it because its still under sonys exclusivity contract.

 

[Infamy v1]

Yeah, they weren't allowed to. Which is ironic as hell, lmao.

On topic, give me Pentiment. Looks fucking phenomenal and is apparently 20 hours to go through it once but has tons more replayability.

 

[freefornow]

I thought showcase was very good.
The "narrative" that has arisen around this has been predicatable. Sadly.

 

[Sosokrates]

2023 is absolute for Xbox.

 

[Topfuel]

I worry that Redfall and Starfield will slip to Autumn 2023 at least, only Forza have a Spring 2023 on it.

 

[Haggard]

So 2 noteworthy games and some shovelware to bloat those gamepass numbers.

 

[SteelCurtain 59]

So Starfield, Redfall (and Deathloop if that counts) are 100% Day 1, set every other game aside to play them. Pentiment has my interest if they fix the annoying text fade in, otherwise I won't touch it. Minecraft Legends could be intriguing but I just need to see the gameplay loop (is it just storming/building fortresses or is there more to it). Grounded might be worth giving it a try, but only if any of my friends are interested in playing it. Forza Motorsport I have 0 interest in, and As Dusk Falls I have less than 0 interest in unless it somehow ends up getting like high 90s metacritic or winning GOTY's or something (obviously won't happen but keeping open the microscopic possibility)

 

[RoboFu]

1 out of 7 for me. Not that great to be honest.

 

[Sosokrates]

I wonder if they have anything for the 2nd half of 2023?

There could have Hellblade 2, compulsions game maybe state of decay 3?

 

[Captain Toad]

Well, there's Starfield, at least.

 

[Sosokrates]

Well, there's Starfield, at least.

Objectivly theres a lot more then just Starfield.

No doubt you are speaking subjectivity, but one might think you are putting it out there in a matter of fact kinda way.

I read the list, yes. Starfield looks good. The rest doesn't interest me.

 

[adamsapple]

Pentiment
Redfall
Motorsport
Starfield

Excited for these 4.

 

[The Alien]

Actually somewhat excited for RedFall after some gameplay was shown. I was looking for a fun co-op.

RedFall is using UE5, so I'm hopeful it'll look "next gen".

Check out the developer interview from the extended showcase on the 14th, a lot of good Redfall information there too.

What does "next gen" look like?

 

[Lukin1978]

Wouldn't suprise me if starfield is October or November release date.

Same. The reveal of redfall did nothing for me. This gameplay reveal completely changed my mind. I should have never doubted arkane. They don't miss

 

[Orbital2060]

As Dusk Falls looks brilliant, I was really impressed with what I saw in the showcase. The people making it seemed like a really talented bunch with some ideas for a game that seem to be way ahead of a lot of people.

 

[AJUMP23]

I won't even download this on Game Pass. It's not a game. It's a deviantart slideshow.

You can play it on the cloud.

 

[AmuroChan]

Will play the crap out of Starfield. The other games don't interest me.

 

[In Cold Blood]

Out of that bunch I'm only interested in Forza, Starfield, and can you believe Pentament.
It's an old school adventure game, but it has a really interesting storyline that I actually think I will enjoy.

 

[reksveks]

In for 4/5 of those games (only not yet decided on Forza beyond the customary try, Redfall or minecraft legends).

I would also say that the list is missing Ara

 

[Fredrik]

Starfield and Forza Motorsport is what interests me here. I don’t think it’s enough. But they have the FH5 DLC as well, I’ll be playing that a ton.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Lol yeah. Just Starfield.

Was sort of interested in Redfall but no story co op progression killed any of that.
